Let NVAR Help You #OwnYourBrand

Might you agree: I’m welcoming and eager for the fall season, so I can shed my rain gear.

But a changing climate is not the only transition we should expect. Our industry is changing and that will continue! To cultivate our long-term success, we must adapt to change. Let us, at NVAR, help you stay connected and make an impact on the issues that matter most to you.

Remember, this is YOUR association. Don’t leave the decision-making to a few. If you want change, then BE the change. Here are five action steps you can take to get involved:

First, start by checking out NVAR.com/bodcandidates, and vote for your 2019 Board of Directors. My goal is to quadruple the number of members who vote this year: it only takes seconds. Please tell me that you voted, and ask your colleagues, too. Your vote always counts.

Second, get involved by applying today for our 2019 committees, advisory groups and forum advisory teams. Learn more and submit an application at NVAR.com/getinvolved. Let us know which leadership opportunities are a match for you by Oct. 13, 2018.

Third, join me at NVAR’s Convention & Trade Show on Oct. 9, 2018. Our theme this year is “Own Your Brand: Inspire. Connect. Grow.”

As practitioners, we must always cultivate our brand identity so that our clients know what sets us apart. Our Convention will show you how: this will be a day of keynote speakers, information sessions, networking, resources, a trade show, in-the- trenches learning and much more. It will be a day to remember.

Brokers: Do ensure that 100 percent of your agents join us there! Visit NVAR.com/convention for details. I look forward to seeing you.

Also, you must have seen my YouTube video on the new NV/RPAC web page (NVAR.com/nvrpac). We need you to be engaged for the long-term, investing in your profession. Show that by supporting RPAC with the most generous investment you can afford. You can sign up for a payment plan. You can even consider making your pledge at the Convention’s RPAC Silent Auction. Those purchases count towards your investment!

Finally, in November, you are invited to join us at an inaugural “Party with a Purpose.” Our NVAR Cares Committee is hosting its first winery fundraiser. Please join us at the Paradise Springs Winery on Thursday, Nov. 8, 2018 for fun and philanthropy.

My parents always told me that the generous person will prosper and will be enriched. They reminded me that to those whom much is given, much is expected in return. Your generosity will be abundantly rewarded. Please register at NVAR.com/NVARcaresfundraiser2018 and help support the important work of our NVAR Cares Committee.

We have so much in store for you this fall. It is YOUR Association! Take advantage of your membership and let NVAR help you reach the next level. Your brand will benefit; your businesses’ bottom line will benefit. Be the member who cares about your brand, your association, your industry and your community.
